Chris Brown
Lead Pastor
::: chrisb@ridgechurch.net
Chris and Angie are graduates of Liberty University. Chris also holds a Masters Degree in General Theology from Columbia International University. They have been married for ten years and have been in full time ministry in the Charlotte Area for all but one year of that time.
They have three children. Brayden is an eight year old bug hunting-soccer superstar, and Josie and Maddie are their walking twin miracles.
“I believe that the local church is the hope of the world. Angie and I asked some tough questions when we first sensed God leading us to start a new church. One of which was ‘Setting comfort and convenience aside, what are we willing to commit the most prominent years of our life to.’ Without hesitation we agreed that this was it!” I believe that Ridge isn’t one of those nice-to-have things, but instead it is a must have! -Chris
The vision though embryonic then, is now fleshing out in the initial phases of Ridge Church! Check out Chris' blog at www.charlotteridge.blogspot.com. To receive Chris' blog via email sign-up below.
